Is it suitable for chopping herbs?

It depends on the shape of the herbs. This thing is two sets of blades; one stationary, one rotates and pushes the material through the fixed ones.

It is a definite improvement over the older model with the finer grind by reversing the direction of the handle. I was curious to find the answer to your question, so tried it on fresh basil. I used the leaves only and they mostly wrapped around the center, although some fell through. I guess it would be okay for cooking flavor if you aren't particular about appearance.

If they are larger dry herbs then yes if not you will need to get a herb chopper or grinder.

Yes, it does a good job, but make sure that you keep an eye on how fine you wish to chop/grind them! It's a personal choice. Hope this helps.

Yes, It will chop fine &super; fine! It does a super job on my walnuts! It should do the job for you! Chops alittle larger too!

Have not tried to chop meat however it probably would work. The blades are extremely sharp you might try a "hard meat" like Salami first.

I have only used it for fresh herbs and it is AWESOME! I can't imagine why it wouldn't work as well on spices.Be REALLY careful using and cleaning this as the blades are extremely sharp. That is why this works so wonderfully though.

Yes. I've used it to chop broccoli, Onions, and Tomatoes. The trick is to pulse when using the chopper. Don't keep your fingers on the button as that would only act as blender and then it will all end in mush. So far so good I'm having no issues with it. I have yet to use the ice shaver but plan to soon. This is the best investment I've made this year... so far.

No. I use them to cut herbs for meals that I cook. They're great for basil and parsley. I shred paper with a paper shredder, not my herb scissors.

I use it to chop herbs, lettuce,cabbage,anything I put in salads. My sister who has arthritic hands can use her Ulu for most anything. She cannot use knives.I do take it about once a year to sharpen it, though you could do it yourself.

The milling blade is for chopping smaller items like nuts, spices, garlic, etc. Good for quick pulsed Pesto or Salsa.

Think you might end up with MUSH instead of a minced bean...use your chefs knife..chop-chop...think it would be better. This handy tool is great for herbs...parsley....etc

Yes, it should chop chocolate just fine. I use it for everything from chopping fresh herbs for dishes and salads to shedding pork for bar-b-q sandwiches.

I have not ever tried to chop a onion with it but i guess it would work. It cuts potatoes great.

Yes, it's really easy and fast to chop garlic, but it's hard to get all the garlic off from in between the blades, so a lot of the garlic gets lost :(

I think so, depending upon what you're chopping. I mainly use the blender for smoothies. Sor far great. It chops strawberries very good.

If you can cut it with a butter knife, you can chop it with this. Its not like an electric food processor by any stretch. I only use it for very very very soft foods. Not too versatile whatsoever. I recommend good knife or an electric food processor. It's good for salsa and sauces.

I use it only for chopping vegetables. I would avoid it for nuts as the body is plastic...
